Do you have an example?

1) As I said, depends, there is more than one application in Financial Market.

2) Depends about what you talking about but for the full application, there is no such thing as sub msec latency in that market.

FPGA have the same problems, and no super dense multipliers arrays neither ultra low latency ALUs.

Agree.
